Eureka Releasing Boris Karloff At Columbia Blu-Ray

Boris Karloff needs very little introduction, he’s a horror icon. Fans of the horror legend will be getting into saving mode as Eureka Entertainment are set to release Karloff At Columbia. The box-set consists of six films comprising the entirety of the horror icon’s filmic output for Columbia Pictures. To be presented as a Limited-Edition Blu-ray as a part of the Eureka Classics range in April.

One of the most recognisable faces in horror, Boris Karloff (or simply ‘KARLOFF’, as he was often billed) has been described as “to the horror movie what Fred Astaire was to the musical”. Presented here are the six films he made for Columbia Pictures, a collaboration which produced some of Karloff’s finest acting roles.

In The Black Room, Karloff takes on a dual role as twin brothers in 19th century Europe. One of the twins inherits the family castle and suddenly the local women start disappearing…

The Man They Could Not Hang, The Man With Nine Lives, Before I Hang, and The Devil Commands form the “Mad Doctor” cycle, a thematically linked series of films where Karloff always plays a doctor whose obsessions inevitably lead them to murder!

And finally, The Boogie Man Will Get You is a delightful parody of the “Mad Doctor” films, starring both Karloff and Peter Lorre.

Eureka have created a new and exclusive new Trailer to promote the release
